Hope you enjoy this nice clear newsletter. Our old copier died on us and we have a new replacement. How nice it is to have a copier that can be used for the benefit of the Historical Society.

A 'special thank you to Doris Satchell', who organized our food booth for the Parker Harvest Fest, also thank you, to all who helped!

A pictorial quilt of 'ole downtown Parker' was made by Phyllis Mundell and quilted by Jean Nickell was donated to the Historical Society as a money maker; many tickets were sold…thanks to all who supported and helped us. The drawing was held at Parker Harvest Fest, and the winner was Karen (Nickell) Kennedy.

We are sad to report the community has lost twenty of its former high school members, 5 were lifetime members of the society; names are listed on next page. We truly appreciate your thoughtfulness with the memorial contributions and mementos that have been received. Names are placed on the memorial plaque; the 2nd plaque has been started to share with the community.
